"We need this movie now."
— Keith Phipps, Uproxx
"A timely thriller from Steven Spielberg."
— Matt Singer, ScreenCrush
"It's a stirring drama of principle. In its way, a call to arms."
— Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
"Ever the master storyteller, Spielberg has no trouble drawing you in."
— Christopher Hooton, Independent (UK)
"Spielberg is now 70 but has scarcely lost a step; The Post possesses the same energy and vigor as the films he made decades ago."
— Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
"Offers suspense and rich characterizations to an all too timely examination of the importance of a free press and of the constant obligation to speak truth to power."
— Alonso Duralde, TheWrap
"The Post is an inspirational reminder of the importance of a free press while unabashedly making journalism look like the most awesome job ever - akin to what Raiders of the Lost Ark did for archaeology."
— Brian Truitt, USA Today
"The beauty of Streep's performance (and it's one of her best in years) is how she lets you see her grow into the responsibility of her position. She elevates The Post from being a First Amendment story to a feminist one, too."
— Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
"It makes for a supremely gripping story - filled with government secrets, meetings in dark rooms, late-night shouting matches and a race against the clock, all framed against a group of dogged professionals doing their job."
— Bilge Ebiri, Village Voice
"Steven Spielberg's tense, terrific new drama, with Streep and Hanks at their finest, celebrates the passionate bond between a free press and every thinking human being, however diminished the species in Trump's America."
— Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"A crackling entertainment made with precision and political purpose, 'The Post' examines a crucial moment in American journalism, although the film clearly invites viewers to see the material's gripping contemporary relevance."
— Tim Grierson, Screen International
"This, remarkably, is the first time that America's best-loved living actor, actress and director have worked together. It's a film worthy of their talents, a vivid Valentine to America's First Amendment and the golden age of newspapers."
— Ed Potton, The Times (UK)
"The Post is a humdinger of a historical journalism tale that manages to be about many things -- women and power, competition, friendship, and most of all the First Amendment -- while also being a rollicking, enjoyable time at the movies."
— Alissa Wilkinson, Vox
